Hi, whereabouts are you based? Thanks Rob

Sorry, my first thought was I really like those - really nice proportions and tones, hope they were well received

Always an interesting one this. I too deal with risk professionally and am often asked to weigh possible impact and likelihood against the cost/effort involved to reduce that risk significantly. I don't, I should point out, have any statistical model for this however it seems to me that a good...

If you ever get the chance the Musee d'arts et metiers in Paris has a large and fascinating collection of turned artefacts. Closer to home Local heritage centres often have displays and records relating to local workshops and rural industries. Traces of history can be found in the strangest...

Back on track now . I managed to work out which terminal the wire came from and mend the other snapped wires. Will teach me, I hope...

Thanks Robbo, yes I've got the manual but the wiring diagram doesn't even begin to cover the variable speed and switch gear. There is a whole separate manual for the variable drive alone but it doesn't seem to show the switch wiring. I will contact Record Power when I get the chance but worry...

Hi, I'm hoping someone on the forum with a Record Maxi 1 (or possibly 2) can help me out. I've managed to disable my lathe by stumbling and yanking on the cable to the switch box, this has pulled a wire away from the switch terminals inside and I can't work out where it goes. It is the only blue...

Surely one should take the splinter away rather than add it in... 8)

Hi, I could do this later this morning if you still need a pic. Hopefully it will be similar/the same. My maxi is 6 or 7 years old, the 1 1/4"x 8tpi version. Dont know if the wiring will have changed / evolved...

I've just started overhauling my machinery for a planned project. First up was the Axi ct330 which has given great service over ten years. Having just turned my last set of blades I looked on the Axminster website and was somewhat horrified to find a pair if disposable blades were £52.43 almost...

I've just started experimenting with Yorkshire Grit, having picked up a tub at our club night. This claims to eliminate the need to sand beyond 240/320 grit and to deliver a finish equivalent to 1000 grit using friable abrasives and applied with paper towel. You need to seal the piece before use...

I have the Maxi 1 which i find capable of everything I ask of it but sometime feel guilty for not using my ML8 much anymore. My dream lathe would, I guess be a Harrison Graduate, completely refurbished in British Racing Green with a go faster stripe, bed extension and variable speed. Fantasy I...

That bowl worked out very well Ant

Depending on where you are G&S Timber just outside Penrith has a good basic stock. Lots of dowelling in different timber / diameters too. Website at www.toolsandtimber.co.uk

Had my first woodturning class since school with Mick at Craft Supplies in Derbyshire, many years on I've a lot to thank him for. Hope you are recovering steadily Mick and hope that you are on the circuit again in due course.

I managed to get a Super32 from Maderas.de helpful and fairly quick. Werner at [email protected] if interested, not on the website but I think he might have some old stock of the Micro22 but not sure

Thanks for that Mike, I've got a 350x350mm extraction hood but it's not as deep as the Axi big mouth but should do. I should follow your example and just get started but time is an issue and the saw does work...

Thank Nev, I saw the sanding glove page but for some reason it seemed old and non-functional, might have been the computer though. Same for the Peter Child, like you say might be worth ringing Turners Retreat, tis a shame I used to live about 20 minutes away from them, it's a lot further now...

Yeah I know what you mean Macros, I think I may have found a German supplier for the Super 32 but they don't have the 22 listed http://www.drechseltechnik.de/hp/produk ... d=60&g=193 but as they are UK made was hoping to find some old stock, I only need the centre itself not the tips - will...

Hi all, I'm trying to find a Multistar Super 32 live centre, ideally MT2. Can't find any suppliers online right now. If anyone knows a possible supplier or source I'd be very grateful.
